Would this be split or not? - ChipTalk.net

I am watching the 1993 WSOP, on ESPN Classics. Man this is rough, no pocket cams, a good test to see how your reads are on people. But a hand came up that I couldn't quite get a grip on.

Player 1: A T
Player 2: A 9

Board: K K T 2 5

Now here is the question. What if the board came up K K T A 5 ?

Would that split? They would both have Aces and Kings with a Ten, but player 1 has a Ten in hand. How would this work?

The second situation is a split. You make your best 5 card hand, no matter how many come from your hole cards and how many are from the board.

That's what I thought. I just wanted to be sure in case something ever came up like it at our home game, which thankfully it hasn't or someone would probably end up knocked out

It would split, correct? Or at least that's how I would judge it. Best 5 card hand wins, so it's still As & Kings with a T kicker.

A lot different with those old WSOPs isn't it? You kind of realize why it didn't catch on fire as much until after the pocket cam.

Easy one, definitely a split. Both have AAKKT, AK two pair with Ten kicker.

Yeh, it is quite strange and quite boring to watch. Tho I made about 3 good reads in the hour that it was on. doesn't tell me too much P
